So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

I take sideways movies by accident fairly often, and it never even occurred to me that there was a way to fix this! Go JZ with the asking! I await the answer...

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

The word "Windows" scares me - will it work on a Mac or just muck things up worse?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I just opened up iMovie to see if I could find a solution, and...wow. I really really really really REALLY hate iMovie. I'd almost forgotten how much.

Er, which is to if you don't have FCP or FCE, a free solution is to download MPEG Streamclip and use that instead. (When you select "Export to Quicktime" there's a field for "rotation" that lets you select the angle and direction you need.)

Oh, AWESOME. Thanks! Bookmarking now.

This is just amazingly irritating. It seems like such a simple little thing, and the kind of thing that they ought to have anticipated would come up all the damn time.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

OTOH, I've seen the same cryptic two-sentence comment all over the place today, most often interpreted as benignly as "we won't promise not to fuck with your ringtones again". I suspect the truth is somewhere in between, or maybe more likely, that The Steve was digging on sounding all oracular and shit.
